Cricket? Not for my girls, feminists can say whatever they want: Afridi

Pakistan cricket doyen Shahid Afridi’s autobiography has been in the new for all the reasons. Earlier, it was reported that Afridi has criticized many seniors including Javed Miandad. Moreover, Afridi, in one of the chapters also revealed has real age.

Now, it has been reported that the all rounder has written in his book that he will not allow his four daughters to play outdoor sports.

Afridi has revealed in the autobiography “Game Changer” that his four daughters- Aqsa, Asmara, Ansha and Ajwa have the permission to play any indoor sport of their preference, but not cricket owing to some ‘social and religious reasons’ and his wife, Nadia Afridi, also agrees for the same.

Afridi wrote, “Aqsa is in the 10th grade, Ansha is in the ninth. They’re both great at sports and even better in academics. Ajwa and Asmara are the youngest and love to play dress-up. They have my permission to play any sport, as long as they’re indoors.”

He concluded, “Cricket? No, not for my girls. They have permission to play all the indoor games they want, but my daughters are not going to be competing in public sporting activities. It’s for social and religious reasons that I’ve made this decision and their mother agrees with me. The feminists can say what they want; as a conservative Pakistani father, I’ve made my decision.”
